I can still remember when the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival was still called “The Weekend of Terror”.
Since then they’ve grown a bit: already in it’s 24th iteration, it now takes 12 days to show their full program.

Last year’s AFFF had a fantastic (haha) selection of titles, including not only “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”, but also a retrospective of Terry Gilliam’s work including a visit from the man himself.

So of course I’ve been oggling their website (found here) often to see what the AFFF will have in store for us this year!
Lo and behold, the following titles have been revealed:

-Appleseed Ex Machina
-Vexille
-5 Centimeters per second
-Fears of the Dark
-Hatchet
-Jack Brooks Monster Slayer
-Diary of the Dead


Granted, most of these are not exactly new, in fact all of these have already been reviewed here at Twitch.
But it gives a terrific indication of what kind of festival this is: A BLOODY FUN ONE!
And rest assured it’ll turn out they have their fair share of (world)premieres, like every year when the full line-up is revealed…

Can’t wait!
But I will have to: the AFFF starts this year on the 9th of April.
